I'm not to sure what will happen over the coming year in Eastenders. I'd like to think there would be a cast cull, and all the dire and uneeded characters would leave. I'm sure that the B&B fire will have its repercussions, but other than that, I don'y know.

What do you think will happen?

i dont actually know any storylines next year :O spoilers defantly going to be needed asap i think maybe somethings going to happen with Janine and Micheal and maybe Kat and Alfie

I would like to see the following axed- Alfie, Tyler, Anthony, Billy, Mo, Lola, Roxy.

I would like to see the following take a break- Phil, Shirley, Ben, Kat

I would like to see the following have their own storyline- Cora, Jay, Denise, Kim

I would like to see the followng- a brand new family, Shabnam, Deano and Sharon returns..

some new characters too...

I've heard the following rumours from various sources, although they are only rumours and are not confirmed.

CORA and ROSE get embroiled in a money making scam involving ANDREW

ANTHONY is forced to come to terms with his feelings for LAUREN.

LUCY returns with a husband in tow, much to the dismay of IAN and MANDY

NORMAN decides to pay JANINE a visit following the news of PAT's death

DI MARSDEN exacts her final revenge on PHIL

BIANCA's old flame RAY turns up in the square wanting custody of MORGAN

As said these are only rumours and are not 100% confirmed.

some good stuff and bad stuff here...

I really hope we can some fresh faces and the dead wood leaves..

Hopefully character deaths for Ben, Tyler and Anthony

Kat kissing Michael on her hen night? I hope he doesn't want to kiss her - like the last time she did.

a new family is slowly introduced to the square after the mum gets a new job the laundrette she has a 15 year old daughter and a 13 year old son with her ex husband. she also has a 20 year old son in prison in another country for drug smuggeling with her first love who she had when she was just 16, shes married to her first love who she fell in love with again when their son was imprisoned.
they are slowly introduced for 2 months before getting a house on the square first main storyline is them trying to get the son released from the forigne prison, hes serving a 15 year sentence which hes allready served 2 years of, he got caught at the airport with drugs in his suitcase but he claims hes innocent.

A professional middle class family not a bunch of Chavs...

This is ridic if true, I'll be disappointed as kat was never that stupid in the old days!

But realistically can't see kat and Alfie renewing their vows, didn't they just do that last year?? Renewing them every couple of years is just a little silly!

David Wicks is only back for a few weeks, so the Carol one is possibly untrue.

Lucy comes back with a husband? Good god.
Some of the storylines sound really good if true

she had a break this summer for like two months she deserves more screentime

there would be no point to sharon's return if phil wasn't around

i dont understand how that poster can know all that if its true. most of it probably hasn't even been filmed yet

jay and abi have split up

I think they said it hadn't been confirmed Just rumours
Some of it seems pretty plausible tho

where are the roumers though ? i haven't seen any of these about anywhere. the only one we know of is david and carol because it happens in the next two weeks... unless they get spoilers in advanced then they shouldn't have been posting these

some of these aren't true and i don't get how you know about them when they're so far in advanced that they wouldn't even be in the ones that are out by the press office unless you have an "insider"(who works at elstree) therefore you shouldn't be posting them
